Two major pieces of news. Let's start with the bad news first:
Despite my best efforts to avoid such unpleasantries, it's my birthday today. I'm as shocked and appalled by this tragic incident as anyone else, but please keep all expressions of sympathy brief.
Second piece of news:
This is regarding the Important Message journal I made last month. I suppose it was best put by Gilda Radner's SNL character Emily Litella:
(Meek smile) "Never mind."
Knowing I am a devotee of the Church of Sunk Cost I figured my best way forward was to burn what I created to prevent myself from perpetually returning. If I'm gonna leave, I'm gonna leave like Slim Pickens disembarking a B-52. I've softened on that. I apologize to anyone who went through the effort of saving my work, but the scorched earth tactic I had planned isn't going to happen. "Timer" is going to stay. Sorry if you did the homework.
Of course, that doesn't mean I'm not going to leave. Just that I'm not committing virtual suicide on the way out.
More news to come, but right now I have to mentally prepare myself for the worst day of the year.
Happy Birthday! Well, as happy as you can make it anyway. Sympathies and condolences on another year you just found you've lost.
Great Dr.Strangelove reference. Though I don't know how many will get it. Major Kong is proud though. Cause in truth he stuck the ride out to the very end. Keep riding that bronco... and thanks for the inspirations and connections you've made for me. It's brought me a little bit more into a community at a time when I kind of needed it. For the distractions if anything.

I watched Dr. Strangelove yesterday so it was on my mind.
Kong was given a bad deal, but he made the best of the situation and followed through. Granted, he did end life as we know it in the process. I suppose there's a lesson there.
I'm happy to see you're fitting in at WC. They're not a perfect bunch, but most of those folks are pretty good and everyone has perspectives I enjoy.

Oh hush, Timer. Find another cloud to shake your cane at, there are plenty of people happy for your milestone 😜 Despite your grumpiness, I hope you still had a nice birthday. 😘 You know we still care about you here, too!
And I'm massively relieved that you're not deleting your gallery after all—too much wonderful work has been made to be thrown away. Like I said before, I'm still saddened by the decision to leave, but I've always loved your stories and am all the more grateful that you shared them in the first place. 💖

It's not about getting older. Not, really. It's more about my birthday sitting smack dab in the middle of my "depression zone" for the year. Summer is over, winter is coming, I realize I haven't done everything I wanted for the year, the holiday stress is upon us... oh, and here's your birthday where you're supposed to be happy. On the plus side my birthday typically signals the peak of my depression, once I survive it things typically start to get better. I can ride through the holidays on the downslope. Or upslope? One of those.
There is also some clarity that comes afterward. This year I may have had more clarity than usual. So that's a bonus.
Thank you for the well wishes and for hanging around and reading my stuff.

So I just saw this which is why I’m asking for forgiveness at the late happy birthday. Know that as tragic as the day can be, that I still hope it was tolerable and not too horrific and a tragedy mixed in with a bit of soul crushing sadness. In short I hope you had a good day.
On the subject of the scorched earth post, I am glad it was averted and postponed. I do like reading your work so I hope to get to keep doing that for a bit longer.
Have a wonderful day ~Tanna
